How is Pulse different from Prism?

Prism is your always-on capture pipeline — it watches the market, tracks your opportunities, and manages your whole BD motion over time. Pulse is single-shot — one solicitation, one report, right now, no account setup or pipeline required. Think of Pulse as the espresso and Prism as the standing coffee subscription. Many teams use Pulse first, then graduate to Prism when they want continuous coverage.

What do I actually get?

A structured competitive-intelligence report on one solicitation: incumbent analysis, likely competitors, your assessed strengths and gaps against the evaluation criteria, a Shipley-aligned win-theme starting point, and a clear bid / no-bid recommendation with the reasoning shown. It is the document a capture manager would spend a week building, delivered in minutes.

How long does it take?

Minutes, not weeks. Upload the solicitation, answer a few questions about your company, and Pulse returns the report while you are still on the page. No scheduling a kickoff call, no waiting on a consultant's calendar.

How much does it cost?

You pay per report. No subscription, no seat licenses, no annual commitment. You see the price before you buy, and there is a sample report so you know exactly what you are getting before you spend anything.

Is it Shipley-aligned?

Yes. The report structure follows Shipley capture and proposal methodology — the same framework the large primes train their capture teams on — so the output drops cleanly into your existing process instead of fighting it.

Your solicitation, your answers, and your report are encrypted in transit and at rest and are never used to train shared models. We do not sell or share your data. A one-off report does not even require a standing account.

Can I use Pulse for a solicitation that is not public yet?

Yes. You can paste in a draft, a sources-sought notice, or an RFI as easily as a final RFP. The earlier you run Pulse, the more time you have to act on what it finds — shaping the requirement is where bids are won.

The Reality

You're not losing bids because your offer is weak. You're losing them because you walked in blind.

Your competitors walked in knowing the incumbent's price, the eval team's bias, and the likely teaming partners.

You showed up with a SAM.gov printout and a hunch.

01 Real CI is locked behind a paywall. $5K–$15K capture consultants or $10K–$50K enterprise subscriptions. Neither pencils out at your scale.
02 In-house research takes a week — and still misses the discriminators that decide the award.
03 Every no-bid you can't qualify fast is pipeline you didn't get to fill.
04 You're losing contracts you should have won — because you bid blind while your competitor didn't.

How it works

The same caliber of intelligence the largest primes pay six figures for — on demand.

Priced per report. Zero lock-in. Ready in minutes.

What's inside

Six capabilities that turn a solicitation into a defensible bid decision.

Auto-built company profile

Skip the setup. Be report-ready in under five minutes.

We aggregate your past performance, NAICS codes, certifications, contract history, and capabilities from public records — so every report is tailored to your company, not a generic template.

Shipley-aligned reporting

Get the same framework your capture managers already trust.

Every report covers opportunity qualification, market intelligence, Black Hat analysis, capture planning, PWin scoring, and pricing intelligence — the structure proposal professionals were trained on.

PWin scoring

Know whether to bid before you commit a single hour to writing.

A quantified probability-of-win grounded in incumbency, past performance fit, agency history, competitive density, and your discriminators — so no-bid decisions are defensible, not gut calls.

Black Hat competitive analysis

See the bid from your competitor's chair.

We identify likely bidders, model their probable teaming structures, pricing posture, and discriminators — so you walk into color reviews knowing what you're really up against.

Pay-per-report pricing

Spend only on the pursuits you're serious about.

Reports run $250–$2,500, scaled dynamically to contract value and complexity. No subscription. No minimum commitment. No procurement cycle to buy a single report.

Strict data isolation

Your competitive intelligence never touches another company's.

Per-tenant data isolation means nothing you upload, no profile we build, and no report we generate is ever visible, queryable, or used to inform another customer's work.

Pricing

One report. One price. Scaled to the pursuit.

A $500K task order doesn't deserve the same investment as a $200M IDIQ. So we don't charge for it that way.

Every report is priced dynamically against contract ceiling and complexity. You see the price before you commit. If a report misses the mark, you tell us within 7 days and we re-run it or credit you back.

No subscription. No minimum commitment.

No procurement cycle to buy a single report.

Those tools surface opportunities. Pulse tells you whether to bid one, who you're up against, and how to win it. It's the analysis layer — the work a capture consultant would do — not another search engine.

Every customer gets strict per-tenant isolation. Solicitations you upload, the profile we build for you, and the reports we generate are never visible to, queryable by, or used to train analysis for any other company. Your competitive intel stays yours.

For most pursuits, yes — and at a fraction of the cost and turnaround. For the largest, most strategic bids, capture consultants still earn their fee. Pulse covers the 90% of pursuits where you couldn't justify a consultant in the first place, so you stop bidding those blind.

Pulse handles federal, state, and local solicitations. Upload any RFP, RFI, or sources sought document — we parse the structure and pull relevant public-record context regardless of the issuing agency.

The score is grounded in incumbency data, agency award history, past performance fit, competitive density, and discriminator analysis — the same signals a human capture manager weighs. It's a decision aid, not a guarantee.

$250 to $2,500, priced per report based on contract value and complexity. A $500K task order is priced very differently from a $200M IDIQ analysis. You see the price before you commit. No subscription, no minimums.

If a report misses the mark, contact us within 7 days and we'll re-run it or credit you. We'd rather earn the next report than keep the first one.
